Music Reviews
Issues, 1999 Album by Korn
I think that the 1999 Issues is Korn’s greatest work. It is the first album by them that I got hold of, and I was strongly impressed by the music. I was rather young when I got a hold of this record, it was before their 2002 release Untouchables, …
For beginners guitars
Alot of people for first guitars are picking up cheap imitational fender guitars all of which feature awful strings and a crap fretboard. The only reason they pick up is for there price of around 150 with a small sometimes battery powered amp.
If you are seriously looking into …
System Of A Down - Kill Rock ‘N Roll (Song)
Kill Rock —˜N Roll is a song by System Of A Down which appears on the second half of their double record Mezmerize/Hypnotize. Kill Rock —˜N Roll is a very short track, at about two and a half minutes long, and it’s also a track which feels short as …
Nine Inch Nails - Closer (Song)
Closer is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album The Downward Spiral. The track opens up with a synthesizer rhythm which is repeated for multiple times before Reznor comes in with the vocals in a pretty unique manner, it’s difficult to describe but there’s a …
Weezer - Thought I Knew (Song)
Thought I Knew is a song by Weezer which appears on their self-titled record, specifically The Red Album. What’s interesting about Thought I Knew is that it actually isn’t sung by Cuomo which is quite rare to hear in a Weezer song, although I believe there a few songs …
The Velvet Underground - The Murder Mystery (Song)
The Murder Mystery is a song by The Velvet Underground which appears on their album of the same name. Interestingly enough, I just finished reviewing another track from the same album entitled Beginning To See The Light and I must say that I think these two songs are completely …
Queen - We Will Rock You - Single
We Will Rock you, a Queen song that could get any crowd going. With Freddie and the front this was even easier. The hand clapping and the way in which Freddie opens this are synonymous with the track. You hear this intro and people just stop because they know …
Korn CD-See You On the Other Side
Korn is one of my all-time favorite bands, and they always know how to rocks. However, the recent loss of their guitarist is apparent since he brought a distinctive sound to any song with his loose-string playing, and it brings this CD down. My favorite song on …
Muse - Blackout (Song)
Blackout is a track by Muse which appears on Absolution. The first thing I want to say about Blackout is that the introduction to this song is the one of the best sections of music that I’ve ever heard Muse write, at least the best out of all the …
Metallica - Cyanide (Song)
I have to admit that Cyanide is one track from Death Magnetic which I’ve had quite an interesting relationship with. For those of you who followed Metallica the summer before Death Magnetic was released, you’ll know that they performed this track at Ozzfest live and this was the first …
Blizzard of Ozz, 1980 Album by Ozzy Osbourne
This album is very special to me. It started listening to this record at a very interesting time in my life, when I was about thirteen years old, and this album will always remind me of that time, and will always remain special to me for that reason. As …
Metallica - Harvester Of Sorrow (Song)
Harvester Of Sorrow, the sixth track off of And Justice For All, is a track which I initially never liked very much but now have come to gain at least a bit more appreciation for the track. I think that the main problem I had with Harvester Of Sorrow …
Marshall Mathers LP 2 album by Eminem
I admit that I was reluctant to listen to this album. Ever since his release of the Recovery album, I really didn’t know what to expect from Marshall Mathers. So, I didn’t want to be disappointed.
The first song of the album, “Bad Guy”, shattered my doubts about Em. This …
The Flaming Lips - Chewing The Apple Of Your Eye (Song)
Chewin The Apple Of Your Eye is a song by The Flaming Lips and the fifth song on their album Transmissions From The Satellite Heart. Opening up with a light guitar part with an effect placed on it, Coyne enters the mix with his vocals somewhat abruptly for my …
Fergie - Labels or love
Labels or love from Fergie is become one of the motion picture original soundtrack from ‘Sex and the city’ movie. I think the theme of the song is very match with the movie.
The lyrics is tell about shopping and shopping. We can enjoy ourself with shopping some famous labels, …
So Solid Crew - Broken Silence - Single
This is a track that takes me back to my last year at University, this was when it was released, 2003 I think. I don’t re-call many sharing my opinion as it was So Solid Crew.
Previous tracks had caused offense to some and they had been in the press …
Megadeth - My Last Words (Song)
My Last Words is a song by Megadeth and is the final track on their record Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? The track opens up with an eerie sounding clean guitar riff by Mustaine before a distorted rhythm comes over it in a somewhat dissonant fashion which leads to …

“I Can’t Sleep Baby (If I)” is the fourth and final single and music video from the self-titled album, “R. Kelly”, following “You Remind Me of Something”, “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)”, and “Thank God It’s Friday”. This is not …
Stoni Taylor (Atlanta based singer)
This “unassuming” (for lack of a better word) guy has one of the richest, raspiest voices I’ve heard from a male singer–especially someone local. Apparently he’s been on the music scene for many years, and I think actually signed a deal with LaVista Records once upon a …
Sting song
Sting is a very famous singer in the world. But in China, most of people don’t know him well or even don’t hear his name. As a Chinese, I heart his name from the film ‘Leon-The Professional’. Sting sang the theme song ’shape of my heart’ about it. I …
People Need The Lord (Stever Greene) Audio CD
People Need the Lord Audio CD of Steve Green never fails to delight me. It is a great collection of sixteen godly songs. The songs have inspired and blessed my heart over and over again.
The songs topped up by the lead song People Need the Lord are Mission, …
Let Me In song
From their The Plan CD, a project from the early 70’s that was done with much passion, Let Me In is one of my two favorite songs from this album. The album itself tells the story of the The Osmonds’ religious beliefs. Now one of the cool …
The Cure, 2004 Album by The Cure
I was very impressed by this album when I heard it. It is a very interesting record indeed. It is very good that the band included so many new songs which have rather different sounds from each other. The previous album, Bloodflowers, released in 2000, was very good. I …
Iron Maiden - Wildest Dreams (Song)
Wildest Dreams is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album Dance Of Death. Wildest Dreams starts off with a pretty powerful guitar rhythm which has a pretty driving feel, it doesn’t seem to be all that aggressive but it certainly lends itself nicely to Bruce Dickinson …
Led Zeppelin - Walter’s Walk (Song)
Walter’s Walk is a song by Led Zeppelin which appears on their record Coda. The song starts off with a quick blues sounding riff in the right channel from Page as Bonham comes straight down the center with a nice pounding drum rhythm as Plant comes in as well. …
Use Your Illusion 1 & 2 live dvd
I recently bought an awesome live music dvd from Best buy. It was a Use your Illusion 1 & 2 concert by Guns N’ Roses from Tokyo, Japan and this dvd came with the full 26 song concert on two disks. I really like this concert because it is …
“Black Sails In The Sunset” by AFI
“Black Sails In The Sunset” is one of the premier punk albums of the 90s. Put simply, it is a solid record with no filler, and provides an hour of some of the best and fullest punk of the 1990s. It is certainly AFI’s best record in my opinion. …
Jagged Little Pill
Alanis Morissette’s album, Jagged Little Pill, has quite the catchy little title. I like that! In fact, that was the first thing that I really liked about this CD. The second thing that I really liked was the presentation of the sound on the tracks. Alanis Morissette has a …
Megadeth - Trust (Music Video)
Overview —“ Trust, the lead-off song of Megadeth’s seventh record, Cryptic Writings, is a video and song that I remember being praised and gaining a lot of airplay on MTV so I’m curious to see if I agree with that opinion. I’ll admit that the albums between Countdown To …
Akon, Freedom
I have to say I’m digging Akon’s song Freedom on his new album also titled Freedom. I think the song probably clicks with me because Akon is an immigrant’s son and my parents were immigrants too.
In a time like this when a lot of people don’t like immigrants, a …
Diggin Up Bones by Randy Travis
Digging Up Bones is one of the songs that Randy Travis does that really hits home with me. You see, to me the song is about a love that has ended but that I was not ready to end. When I was sixteen I met a man that was …
How to train your dragon soundtrack
I am a sucker for soundtrack, People normally listens to pop. rock, country, R&B. alternative… yeah me too, but I love soundtrack. The first was Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl by Hans Zimmer. Then the trilogy. Afterward, Lion king, Gladiator, The Rock, Inception, How to …
Sheryl Crow Detours
Sheryl Crow’s sixth studio album, Detours, reflects globally and on Crow herself. Crow’s lyrics are maternal, religious, hopeful and at times political. Spaced between them are monotonous “oh”s and “yeah yeah yeah”s (good example in “Gasoline”). Disappointingly, this album does not show Crow’s powerful, playful vocals made her a …
Green Day - Christian’s Inferno (Song)
Christian’s Inferno is a song by Green Day which appears on their album 21st Century Breakdown. Christian’s Inferno certainly has a unique sound to it and it’s significantly different than the other track thus far on the record. For one thing, Christian’s Inferno starts off with this very dark …
Pink Floyd - Apples And Oranges (Song)
Apples And Oranges is a single by Pink Floyd which is one of their earlier singles and is written by original member Syd Barrett. The track starts off with a guitar part which has a strong effect on it which gives an odd sound to the instrument before Barrett …
Mastodon Remission CD
Mastodon is literally not your average Metal band. In our American wasteland of poor excuses for Metal(with the exception of Tool, Deftones, System of a Down, a small handful of other exceptional bands), Mastodon reigns supreme as one of the top bands to emerge from America’s underground scene. Usually, …
Radiohead - The King of Limbs
Radiohead’s new album The King of Limbs was released this morning by surprise instead of Saturday. It seemed as though this enigmatic album popped out of nowhere. It starts out with a track called “Bloom” it begins with a blur of sampled piano, blipping synth, and a cool dark …
Rihanna - Umbrella
This is one of my favorite songs and when I hear it now I still sing to it because first, it doesn’t only have a great beat, but second, the meaning of the lyrics of this song is cute yet sincere and sweet at the same time. It is …
Album : Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time
I don’t think anybody could disagree with the fact that Iron maiden are one of the most important heavy metal bands in the history of music. If you aren’t sure why this album, Somewhere In Time is as good a place as any to start your listening journey.
Sure, …
Kanye West
If this is graduation it’s from a 2 year school. The sampling and tired metaphors from kanye west is old. Rap is about bravado but kanye is that times ten. He not only tell u he’s the best at rapping every other sentence he also mentions he’s the best …
Start a Band
I think the song and video titled “Start A Band” with Keith Urban and Brad Paisley is a cute, upbeat song. The music and lyrics blend very nicely.
I didn’t realize they had collaborated. I think they have done a good job with the song. Their voices blend …
Coldplay: Viva La Vida CD
I, like others I’m sure, mostly bought this CD for its title track, “Viva La Vida”, which remains the strongest song on the album. However, that being said, Coldplay has put together a collection of some rather meaningful and haunting songs, separating this album from their previous releases.
The first …
Creep - Radiohead
There is something to be said for a song that seems to at first say one thing, through its music and lyrics, then completely changes up the tone of the entire song using a slight variation of those same lyrics and same music. It surprises you initially, then you …
Muse - Resistance (Song)
Resistance is a track by Muse which is the title track of their most recent release, The Resistance. Like many of the songs on this record, Resistance is a song which is lyrically inspired by George Orwell’s novel, 1984. As a side note, for anyone who has not read …
Dig Out Your Soul, 2008 Album by Oasis
I have read several reviews of this album that state that this is the long-expected come-back album by Oasis. People make claims that, after releasing numerous second-rate and pointless albums Oasis have finally recorded an album which is as good as their 1995 hit album (What’s the story) Morning …
Already Gone
Already Gone by Sugarland is a song about how this girls mother already knew her daughter wasn’t going to listen to her so she let her make her mistakes and learn from them. It’s a lot like that now days because a lot of kids think there parents have …

Jay-Z spends a lot of time at a lounge with his homeboy and producer Damon Dash during most of this official third single and music video “Imaginary Player” from his second album “In My Lifetime, Volume 1″, following “(Always Be My) Sunshine” and …
“Moves Like Jagger” by Maroon 5
This is trash, pure and simple. If raccoons knock over your garbage can at 3 AM, there will be no way to differentiate between the debris strewn across the street and this filth. From “This Love” on, Maroon 5 have been insufferable, and the easiest solution was to just …
P.E. 2000: Puff Daddy ft. Hurricane G.
Puff Daddy ft. Hurricane G.
“P.E. 2000″
Forever
Bad Boy Entertainment
Director: Martin Weisz
I’m not quite sure where things exactly went wrong for Puff Daddy. Perhaps he was lacking in what he does best or perhaps people just got tired of the Shiny Suit Era that he created? All I have to say …
